What movie did you watch last night? (25 Viewers)

[David Kronenbourg]

Snowpiercer. Ambitious, original and often very funny post apocalyptic sci fi from the director of Korean films The Host and Mother. His first film in English. Much to enjoy here.

Blood Ties. Uneven homage to 70s NYC crime dramas like Serpico, Dog Day Afternoon, Mean Streets etc. The warring brothers on different sides of the law story has been done to death and there's some really bad acting on display here. Guilaume Canet doesn't really have the directing chops to pull it off.

I love the interviews in that with the Dessner twins, they seem endlessly patient.

Yeah, even in the face of questions like 'Where do you see the band in 50 years time?' and his constant attempts to make them look silly by staging them in pretentious indie rock poses..

Yep, it was formulaic stuff. Marion Cotillard's accent provided some comic relief though.

Watched Calvary the other day. It was pretty good, but I think some of the fawning over it going on is a bit much

I didn't go to Calvary afterall

Went to see We Are The Best instead. Swedish movie about three teenage girls who form a punk band.
Good craic.

Locke, I won't say much about as almost anything would be a spoiler, though having said that the movie is less about the plot and almost totally about Tom Hardy's excellent, engaging performance.

The film is about Hardy's character driving from Birmingham to London on the motorway and making some phone calls.

Cheap Thrills. Pitch black comedy in the mould of Very Bad Things. Dark, grisly, misanthropic and very funny.

Incendies. Devastating in parts, a real gut wrencher, but I found the ending contrived, unbelievable and just piling on the misery for sake of it. I do think Denis Villeneuve is one of the more intriguing directors around at the moment even if his films can misfire at times.

Ah come on, it was all about the ending. Thought it was an excellent movie. Really loved the lead actress, haven't come across her in anything else.

i didn't buy the ending, loved the rest of it though, there were a couple of moments when i actually gasped out loud. loved both the mother and the daughter.

I agree that it kind of felt contrived to an extent, but yeah still a class film!

 

[hermie]

Yeah I can see where you're both coming from but I didn't think they over-sensationalised it. I liked it

Locke.

He's Welsh in that, right?

Jamie Bell's accent.....why?

 

[Jim Daniels]

Blue Ruin.

Superb, suspenseful stuff.

Didn't recognise anyone, except for one lad who was in Nebraska. They were all great.

Saw this when I was "on the mitch from PE" back in 87/88.

Didn't know it had come out on DVD - well worth the £3.
